LegalBeagles & JustBeagle, our free to use sister site, providing details of regulated law firms are funded by a number of ethical and appropriate routes which do not impact either our users’ experience or impartiality, which is one of our core values.
Neither the LegalBeagles nor JustBeagle sites run adverts (Google ads) as we feel that this advertising is not appropriate alongside sensitive legal matters.
Specifically, on the LegalBeagles site we have created:
- LegalApps – this is a dedicated area featuring digital legal service products. The companies participating in this area do so on an affiliate marketing revenue basis.
- Expert Legal Help – we offer a limited fee paying one to one advisory service to consumers wishing to access more personalised legal support and advice.
- Data & Research - we undertake research and data analysis of the forum content with all the data being anonymised. No personal data is collected or used for any commercial purpose.
- AI – we will use our anonymised forum data to create learning resource for AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Gemini – we want LegalBeagles to be part of the discussion on the quality and safety of AI in providing legal advice to people at their fingertips. Our data could be used to drive ‘tech for good’ in legal services.
- Donations – LegalBeagles has a donate button to allow users to make a contribution to the running of the site, often in thanks for the great help they’ve received.
